Privacy Policy for Secure Alley - ChatGPT Data Leak Protection
Effective Date: April 9, 2025
Secure Alley - ChatGPT Data Leak Protection is a Chrome Extension designed to protect users from unintentionally sharing sensitive information with AI chatbots such as ChatGPT. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your privacy.
1. Information We Collect
The extension does not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). However, to provide its core functionality, the following types of data may be processed:
• User Input Data: Text that users type into the ChatGPT interface is analyzed locally to identify patterns that may indicate sensitive information (e.g., passwords, personal identifiers, financial details).
• Extension Settings: User preferences and settings related to the extension’s behavior are stored using Chrome’s local storage APIs.
• Diagnostic Data (Optional): If enabled, the extension may send anonymized diagnostic events to a secure server to improve detection algorithms. This feature is optional and clearly indicated within the extension interface.
2. How We Use the Information
The information processed by the extension is used exclusively for the following purposes:
• To detect potentially sensitive data before it is submitted to AI models like ChatGPT.
• To warn users in real time if potential data leaks are detected.
• To store user preferences related to warnings or detection strictness.
• (If diagnostic sharing is enabled) To improve detection patterns based on anonymized usage trends.
3. Data Storage and Retention
• All input analysis is done locally on your device.
• No PII or sensitive data is stored remotely by default.
• User settings are stored locally and remain only on the user’s device unless explicitly synced via Chrome.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
• Secure Alley does not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties.
• No data is shared with external services unless diagnostic sharing is explicitly enabled by the user.
• We do not integrate with or allow tracking or advertising networks.
5. User Control and Data Deletion
• Users can remove the extension at any time via their browser’s extension settings.
• All locally stored data (such as preferences) can be cleared by:
• Removing and reinstalling the extension
• Clearing extension data via Chrome’s settings
6. Security Measures
• All potential external communications are encrypted via HTTPS.
• The extension operates with the minimum permissions required and follows the principle of least privilege.
• Regular security reviews are conducted to ensure compliance with Chrome Web Store policies.
